- This might be a very simple question but I couldn't figure it myself
- whatever I tried it was wrong.
- I cannot print anything from within emacs using M-x lpr-buffer or M-x
- lpr-region. Reason: when I normally print text files, I have to
- convert them to Postscript first, so I type something like
-
- lptops -backwards | lpr -Pjwb120 file.txt
-
- So I tried to change lpr-command in lpr.el from "lpr" to
- "lptops -backwards | lpr" and lpr-switches to "-Pjwb120", well it
- does't know the program "lptops -backwards | lpr", so it won't work.
-
- Would some kind soul point me the solution ?
